FAQs
Keśava is a revered name of Viṣṇu (often also used for Kṛṣṇa), addressed here as the Lord and protector (nātha).
It frames the relationship with the divine in intimate, devotional terms—addressing the Lord as “my son” and praying for the fulfillment of a heartfelt wish.
The verse models humble supplication and trusting devotion: one approaches the Lord with affection, gratitude, and a sincere request rather than entitlement.
